give the control and power back to the people - take it away from corporate interest groups.

make presidential candidates pass a 3rd grade grammar test and prove they can speak English at least as well as a 5 year old.

I'd have universal health care for all citizens. There is nothing sadder and more limiting to people than being stuck in their sucky job just because they or their kids need the medical coverage.

Change all the spoiled, immature whiners in this country into a rugged bunch of go-getters.

Focus on American needs more. We have been the world police for too long. We should help countries that need our assistance, but I think the scope needs to shrink. I think that if we focused on our healthcare issues, our debt problems and employers shipping jobs out to foreign companies, the US would be a better place. I think a lot of this has to do with frivolous spending and world-policing. Of course, I'm certainly no expert on these matters

Either way, the USA is the best country in the world!!!

Corporate interest groups = politicians. Until public service over greed makes a comeback, it'll never happen.

Make the popular vote be the vote that counts for the President and Vice President, not the electoral ones.

I would like to see us using the metric system. I would also like to see universal health care. I think that health care is too much of a business and not enough of a support system for people.
